How demanding is my PHP script?

[skyBlue]

Can someone explain to me, how could i know how much server resources is required to execute some php script, i mean how demanding is that script? Without that i'm never sure which way of coding is better than any other. Is there any site where i can test it or some kind of software?

Thanks,
Milan

You can time it by adding code at top and bottom of your php files:

Code at top

PHP Code:

function getmicrotime(){ 
   list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); 
   return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec); 
   } 
$time_start = getmicrotime(); 


Code at Bottom

PHP Code:

$time_end = getmicrotime();
$timetaken = $time_end - $time_start;
echo $timetaken;

Yeah, that could do the work. But i'm looking for more featured option where i can automatically send my scripts to see how demanding is it.

Thanks anyway for reply.
